Frequently asked questions

Which fields can I add?

Text boxes, multi-line text, checkboxes, radio groups, dropdowns and date fields.

Can people fill it in on a phone?

Yes — fillable PDFs work in mobile readers and in most mobile browsers.

Can I collect the answers?

People send the completed file back. The values stay in the PDF and can be read by any reader.

Where is my file processed?

On your own machine. The tool is code that runs inside your browser tab, so the document is never sent to us and never sits on a server waiting to be cleaned up.
